Tragic, yes. Selfish. Oh yeah.
When you end your life, unless your Tpark (poorly inserted diss), you're ruining many others as well.
Of course I don't wish death on the guy, but like johnsmith, I wouldn't be sad if he did. I'll go back to part of my original post:
How many people have this guy's ability and talent? How many people have as much money or live the lifestyle that he does? How many people's lives are much worse off??????
He has the world on a platter and he continues to be a complete jackass. I don't think it's unfair to call him an asshole.
They are running the press conference from the Dallas EMS guy. The police said the EMS called them....the EMS guy said they don't call the police and didn't in this case.
I think all suicides/suicide attempts are the very definition of selfish.
I think the term "tragic" is thrown around too much as well. Like the way they describe Maurice Clarett's situation as a tragedy all the time. Give me a break, dude made a lot of bad decisions and he and his family are now paying for it. Sounds like idiocy more then tragedy to me..............just my opinion.
I would agree that Clarett is not a tragedy.
Actually the EMS guy said he didn't know if they did or not as he wasn't there, but that it's usually something automated.
The truth will eventually come out.
But will anyone believe it.The truth will eventually come out.
The only "tragedy" in regards to the Clarett decision is that whenever they talk about him on the radio they always intro it with "former Denver Bronco runningback........"
Mike Shanahan's only bad decision as coach and GM of the Broncos. Well, that and Plummer.
Everyone but Pat Robertson.But will anyone believe it.
Well Pat is busy trying to oust Hugo Chavez.
But will anyone believe it.
Honestly, yes, I think they will.
How hard is it for you to believe someone as successful and with a personality like his tried to kill himself? I find it hard to believe. Not impossible by any means, he just doesn't seem to fit the "mold" of someone suffering from depression.
That may be way off though.
I hope they will but given people's perception of TO, he could tell the truth and people will not believe. It may have just been a stupid mistake, an accident that he regrets. It could be a suicide attempt (which I really doubt now) People are going to draw their own conclusions regardless of the truth.
I don't think you are off at all. Too many times we hear things like "I would have never suspect he was upset or sad" or "she seemed happy and that nothing was wrong"
If he really wanted to kill himself, Owens should have borrowed Keith Davis' Impala and just drove back and forth on 635.
Hilarious..........however, it makes me think of something else. People are really uncreative with their suicides nowadays. It seems to always be pills and guns. If I was gonna do it I'd have to put some real thought into a way that would really grab people's attention and say, "hey, I may be dead, but you'll never forget how it happened".
Cowboys news conference is starting.
Let us know how it goes.
Rich Dalrymple just re-stated the fact already known and said they were going to wait for more medical reports before making full comment.
Parcells is about to speak but Dalrymple said he will NOT address the TO situation.
Well he is answering questions...but not a lot of info. A lot of "no I haven't talked to him" and such.
"I need a clearer picture of what is going on"
"I don't see this as a distraction but an unfortunate series of events"
Parcells has been in practice so has not heard all that has gone on the last couple of hours.
He is getting his info right now from Dalyrimple and the reporters.
Parcells said that Owens did not tell him of any additional pain yesterday.
It sounds like Parcells has not been briefed about all this.
